Bedford Metals Sends 60 Samples for ICP Analysis Following Promising Ubiquity Lake Exploration Results
August 26 2024 - 2:00AM
Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012)
(the “Company” or “Bedford”) is pleased to announce the Company has
sent a total of 60 samples from its recent exploration program at
the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project, Athabasca, Canada for
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis.
This advanced analytical technique is considered the 'gold
standard' for uranium analysis. It provides precise and sensitive
measurements of trace elements across a wide range of samples,
helping to confirm the promising on-site results.
Peter Born, President
of Bedford, commented, “The results from our recent exploration
program at the Ubiquity Lake Project have been very encouraging. We
are eager to see the outcomes from the ICP-MS analysis, as we
anticipate that the lab results will confirm our initial findings.
These results will be crucial in guiding our next steps as we
outline the upcoming exploration program at Ubiquity Lake.”
The Company is using
an innovative mineral analysis approach, Inductively Coupled Plasma
Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This advanced analytical technique
stands at the forefront of modern scientific exploration, offering
unparalleled precision and sensitivity in measuring trace
elements.
ICP-MS first converts
the sample into an ionized state within a high-temperature plasma
torch. This plasma generates temperatures exceeding 10,000 degrees
Celsius, effectively breaking down the sample into its elemental
components. These ions are then extracted into the mass
spectrometer, where they are separated based on their
mass-to-charge ratios and quantified with exceptional accuracy.
The Company will
incorporate the results from this lab analysis into the planning
and execution of the next exploration phase at the Ubiquity Lake
Uranium Project. The data will be critical in refining our
understanding of the mineralization potential and identifying
high-priority targets for further investigation.
Bedford remains
committed to conducting all exploration activities with the utmost
respect for environmental stewardship. The company is dedicated to
minimizing its environmental footprint and ensuring that all
operations are sustainable and responsible. Additionally, Bedford
values its relationships with local communities and indigenous
groups and is dedicated to working collaboratively with these
stakeholders to ensure its activities bring positive benefits to
the region.
Dr. Peter Born, P.Geo., is the designated
qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and the
President of the Company and is responsible for and has approved

About Bedford
Metals Corp.
Bedford Metals Corp. is a mineral exploration
company. We create value for our shareholders by identifying and
developing highly prospective mineral exploration opportunities.
Our strategy is to advance our projects from discovery to
production.
The Close Lake Uranium Project
lies on the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin, adjoining claims
held by Cameco Corporation, the largest uranium producer in the
world. The claim is approximately 245 hectares and lies within the
primary exploration corridor, which hosts the Keys Lake Mine, the
Cigar Lake Mine, and the McArthur River Mine. Access to the
property is done through a network of roads and trails.
The Ubiquity Lake Uranium
Project, covering 1382 hectares, lies just south of the
bottom lip of the Athabasca Basin, adjacent to ALX Uranium’s
Carpenter Lake Project to the east. Situated near the Cable Bay
Shear Zone, parallel to the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts
Cameco’s Centennial uranium deposit, the project holds immense
potential. Furthermore, it is located 100 km west of Cameco’s
past-producing Key Lake uranium mine, underscoring the strategic
significance of its location.
The Sheppard Lake Uranium
Project covers an area of approximately 2250 hectares and
adjoins the Ubiquity Lake Project to the southeast. The project
area is characterized by rocks of the Mudjatik domain, where
uranium mineralization is typically basement-hosted, situated
within shears or faults, and formed through hydrothermal
redistributions of dissolved metals and subsequent redox
reactions.
